Document scanning is a daily office work. However, traditional devices like flatbed scanners are not easy to carry for mobile work. In this paper, we present a new document image scanning method using a mobile device. With a clip of continuous video capturing, our approach first extracts several key-frames. A mobile GPU based image stitching method is adopted to generate a high resolution document image. Semi-automatic document image dewarping is then applied to rectify the perspective distortion and document page warping. For shadow and uneven environment lighting problem, we use Retinex theory based image enhancement method to remove those artifacts. Experimental results show that our results are outperforming existing commercial mobile applications.
